In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to install Sigal on Alpine Linux Latest. Sigal is a simple Python image gallery generator that integrates with your existing site or blog.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
First, we will need to install the following packages:
sudo apk add python3 py3-pip git
This command will install Python 3, pip, and git on your Alpine Linux machine.
Next, clone the Sigal repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/saimn/sigal.git
After cloning the repository, change into the sigal directory using the following command:
cd sigal
Once you are in the sigal directory, you can use pip to install Sigal. Run the following command to install Sigal:
pip install -e .
This command will install Sigal on your Alpine Linux machine and link the installation to your local copy of the repository.
Finally, to verify that Sigal was successfully installed, you can generate a sample gallery. To generate a sample gallery, run the following command:
sigal build -c example/sigal.conf.py
If the gallery was successfully generated, then you should see a new directory called output inside the sigal directory. You can now open the index.html file inside the output directory using your web browser to view your sample gallery.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sigal on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now start using Sigal to generate image galleries for your website or blog.
